The Girls Program
With 22 female wrestlers—one of the largest girls rosters in the state—Bentonville isn't just participating in the girls wrestling boom. They're leading it. The Tigers have produced multiple state placers on the girls side and are building a pipeline that should keep them competitive for years.
